70- Consumer health Unilag. I don't usually chase too high marks. All I need is an A and 70 gives me that. Though I don't always get As

You know after secondary school there was this enthusiasm going to UI, i thought i was going to see so many engineering and science real practicals and shït.

You hear so many things like UI is the best, 2.2 for UI is better than First class from another school.

Then also i was reading the notes given in lectures, but didn't know University questions are also like waec questions, it was all past questions, and am the cramming type, it took me so long to know that they were repeating past questions in the exams, and i didn't know how to find the past questions.


So after my low result in 100L (2.2 out of 7.0), i was dejected and so many people were sent away from the dept. and from school, it didn't affect me cos i passed all the necessary courses.


The thought of living the school crossed my mind, but telling my parents i want to leave UI? They will say it's devil's work over my life, they will say its a curse and all that ..
So i stayed put, hoping result will get better.

But i was supposed to be first class material, my mind wasn't in the school again.


Tried US school 2 times, and was rejected by the embassy 2 times.

5 years course in UI, i thought i could drag my low grades through, but repeating courses set in, and i lost it. 1 failed course in 200, 2 in 300, 3 in 400 and by 400L i was already contemplating on dropping out, a lecturer caught me and advised me to finish, but so many outstanding courses have piled up.

Mom advised me on finishing up, but at that point my confidence was so low, i couldn't mutter words in class with my departmental mates, i feel like an olodo, i was degraded.


Many were doing exam malpractice just to score high marks and all that but wasn't interested.

I have picked myself up and if i make it in this life, i will share my story with the entire world and give many hope, because i became depressed, thought of committing suicide many times, but my elder brother had died in 2009 before i entered, Dad died the year i was suppose to graduate, killing myself would be devastating for my mom, besides that early in life i already had a discussion about suicide and we all concluded that it was not an option to commit suicide.

So now, its hope that is guiding me.


Did you read INDEPENDENCE? Did you know how Christine died? That was what it felt like for me.

oyetpel:
Yes i couldn't graduate.
